The USA dates have disappeared from their website.

I sent them an email asking for more info... hopefully they are making some adjustments before re-listing.

I would love to see them come to the midwest...I think the Texas shows are probably the closest...I'll just have to be content with DVDs....

What an interesting route across the country. That would be a strange road trip for most Americans, let alone a bunch of Austrians/Eastern Europeans. I realize it's a money trail (follow who pays your booking fees), but still... :tuba:

The US dates are back up on the web site. Their manager replied very quickly to an email inquiry, and she said that there were problems with their Web server that made several tour dates here and abroad disappear temporarily.

Ticket presales are open in Athens and Birmingham. There is not as yet a listing for MB at the Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta's online site.

Regarding their route, they have a 2-week break from their European tour, 3 days in Georgia and Alabama, 3 dates in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, a couple of days off, 3 dates in Texas, a 12-day break, and then back to the European tour. It's not such a terrible itinerary. Their previous North American tours have often tended to clump rather than be widespread.

Cool... no, it's certainly not a terrible itinerary, just saying... I'd imagine that most other Austrians wouldn't visit many (or any?) of those places on a visit to the US. (I completely understand why, just saying!)

Got seats for Feb 28 in Shippensburg. Wondering if I can get autographs from Willi on my Conn 10J or Professor Paul on my bass 'bone.

Their itinerary includes Reykjavík as if it is just another town in southeast England. Guess they need an airplane flight to vary their bus and train itinerary.

Flights from England to Reykjavik are about 2 hours, so it's a really easy trip in the air (though it takes a lot longer to get through the airports, and to get from the Iceland airport to Reykjavik is about another hour).

...And based on the number of British tourists I saw there last winter, it almost was just another town in England... :roll:
